DIGHTON — Officially, there is only one contested race in Saturday’s town election, but the annual affair should draw plenty of interest.

An unofficial race has materialized, as selectmen Chairman Dean Cronin will face a challenge from former Selectwoman Nancy Goulart, who has confirmed that she is running a sticker campaign.

The polls for the election will be held at the Dighton Elementary School from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In the official race, Assistant Town Clerk Pamela J. Waller will vie for the open Board of Assessors seat against Jillian B. Courcy, a human resources coordinator for Pepsi Bottling Group.

Town voters will also be asked to weigh in on ballot questions, that will allow the town to pursue a grant from the Massachusetts School Building Authority. The state will pay for 52 percent of the costs through an accelerated roof repair program.

Last month, voters at Dighton Town Meeting approved the items appearing on tomorrow’s election ballot. The items include $6.7 million to help repair and replace the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School roof; $1.5 million for the middle school roof; and $2.5 million for the elementary school roof.

Rehoboth voters last month also approved sending the high school roof item to the ballot, as well as its middle school — Beckwith Middle School.

Despite winning Town Meeting approval last month, election voters in Rehoboth rejected the high school roof project by only two votes on Monday. The middle school project, however, was approved by approximately 150 votes, however.

Regional School Committee Chairman Raymond Medeiros confirmed this week that the committee is filing for a recount, so Dighton voters should still weigh in on the high school roof project.

“There will be a request for a recount since there was such a small difference between those in favor and those against the high school bond,” Medeiros told the Gazette this week.

In the selectmen’s race, Goulart said a group of residents asked if she would consider having her name written in as a candidate and if she would consider passing out stickers outside of the elementary school during the election.

Goulart, a current Finance Committee member, agreed to do so recently.

Originally, she said, she had no interest in running and did not even pull nomination papers.

She said recent events at Town Hall sparked her interest.

“This action was precipitated by the conduct of two selectmen, publicly witnessed, and events recently at Town Hall that were considered unprofessional, offensive and unacceptable,” Goulart said.

Goulart would not elaborate any further.

Town officials, however, have confirmed that there was an altercation at Town Hall in March that involved a town employee. The police were called, as a result. Citing the fact that it involved personnel, selectmen would not comment any further.

Goulart also served on the finance committee from 2002-07 and from 2010 to the present. She has a strong financial background, having worked 30 years in education finance for the University of Massachusetts.

She also has served on the Brook Street Bridge land-taking project and played a pivotal role in assembling the Dighton Tricentennial Book.

If re-elected, Cronin will be serving his second term on the board.

He acknowledged this week that Goulart’s sticker campaign will still pose a challenge for him in his bid for a second term.

“It’s going to be an election — that’s for sure,” Cronin said.

Cronin has now served as the board chairman for more than a year. Prior to being elected in 2011, Cronin had never served on a town board or committee. He is a retired physical education teacher and coach, who last taught at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School.

During his tenure, Cronin said he feels the board has made government more “translucent.” He said the board has improved communication and now have budget planning under better control.

He said there is better union negotiations and mutual respect among selectmen and various departments.

“The board as whole — we treat them as a part of town government,” Cronin said. “They do their roles and do it well. “

He said there are many initiatives he wants to see completed if re-elected. He wants to help oversee the completion of the police station project, the town master plan and a completely overhauled budget process.

In the assessor’s race, Waller said she wants to run to extend her knowledge of how properties are assessed and how taxation is conducted. She said her experience in town government in similar department will be an “asset to the assessor’s office.”

She has also worked in the treasurer and tax collector’s office.

“I will be dedicated to serving the people in town,” Waller said, if she is elected as an assessor.

A homeowner in town with curiosity of how the system works, Waller is also a lifelong town resident who has raised two daughters in town.

“Due to some changes in my personal life, l decided to run,” she told the Taunton Gazette. “I felt like there was an opportunity to learn about the aspects of town government.”

Courcy, also a lifelong, town resident, has worked for Pepsi for the last 15 years, handling unions, employees and payroll responsibilities. She has also worked in lease management, collecting rent money for a property.
